About Amy

She works in a calm, straightforward way and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Amy aims to help people find small, practical steps that make day-to-day life feel more manageable.
Amy offers a blend of talking approaches to suit different problems. She uses Client-Centred techniques to follow what matters most to the person.
How Amy works
She brings in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns. Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas are used when exploring emotional patterns and past experience. Her practice is collaborative.
Amy says she will listen, ask questions and invite feedback so the work stays relevant. She describes herself as both nurturing and willing to challenge unhelpful habits, and she adapts pace to what the person needs. Amy has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She practises in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Sessions can include practical tools, reflection on patterns, and goal-focused work. People have space to talk about relationships, identity, grief, trauma, parenting pressures, work burnout, and sexual or intimacy concerns.
Amy supports exploration of complex topics such as adoption, attachment, neurodiversity, and issues around kink and BDSM culture. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that suit them. Amy aims to help people move towards clearer choices and more manageable routines over time.

Online support options
Approaches that suit online therapy
Amy commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person, helping them find their own solutions and build confidence. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical tools to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Amy will collaborate with the person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. She encourages feedback so the style of therapy can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, which allow flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful for a close, face-to-face feel. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
